1. Journey of a Grain of Sand
I'm Samantha Sandstone, but I was Molly
Marble. This is the story of the stages I went
through to become sandstone. (believe me it
took a while).
2. Part 1:
It all started on a stormy day. I was sitting on
another rock minding my own buissness when
the rain made me slip into a river.
3. Part 2:
Grinding against the river I got broken up into little
bits until I was only a centimeter wide! I tried to grab
hold of the river's ledge, but it was as slippery as a
bar of soap and I had to let go. I kept going down the
snaky river. Then I noticed I was a tiny grain of sand! I
was sitting feeling sorry for myself when the river
dropped me into a delta.
4. Part 3:
I got whirled around like cotton candy getting twirled
onto its stick. I got whooshed through meanders.
Some times it was a smooth ride until I would hit a
bumpy fragment where the river had dropped rocks
that were to heavy.
5. Part 4:
I was beginning to enjoy this ride when all of the
sudden the delta deposited me into the ocean.
6. Part 5:
I plopped into the oceans deep water until the
forceful waves pushed me to shore. I got blown
under a boulder with other sand for hundreds of
years.
7. Part 6:
When I came out I was sandstone! I was
renamed Samantha. That was the end of my
journey of changing from marble to sandstone!
